Aims and Scope
JOURNAL OF PSYCHOSOMATIC RESEARCH Official Journal of the European Association of Psychosomatic Medicine (EAPM; www.eapm.eu.com) and Affiliated with the International College of Pyschosomatic Medicine (ICPM, www.icpm.org). AIMS AND SCOPE The Journal of Psychosomatic Research is a multidisciplinary research journal covering all aspects of the relationships between psychology and medicine. The scope is broad and ranges from basic human biological and psychological research, to evaluations of treatment and services. Papers will normally be concerned with illness or patients rather than studies of healthy populations. Studies concerning special populations, such as the elderly, and children and adolescents are welcome. In addition to peerreviewed original papers, the journal publishes editorials, reviews and other papers related to the Journal’s aims. EDITORS Albert F.G.
